'The Recitation" was the subject of
somewhat lengthy but valuable lee
tHe by Supt.. George. Rowland, of Chi
cago. The speaker sharply criticised
many of the methods of instruction in
common use in the public schools to-
day. "rhe recitation" said he, lis
that about which all the productions of
school life center. In it the pupil finds
the rewards of well-doing or the con-
demnation of negligence. The recita-
ton shows whether the school is place
of development or of ignorance. The
intelligent teacher soon discovers
differences of character and changes
his methods to suit these
differences. The power of memory is a
great one, but the pupil who gets up
and repeats page of history has done

The Columbia Association Dis
cusses the High License.
What viii the Columbia association
do about the high license question? The
association held a meeting in Lauer'S
hall yesterday afternoon until p. m,
and when it adjourned it was as much
in doubt as to what course to pulsue as
when it came together. Vice Presi-
dent John T. Smith occupied
the chair. Fifteen new members
were taken into the association, and the
ex-president. II. f. NOtbehm, delivered
a rather radical address in opposition
to high license. He looked forward,
with some satire, to the day when, IN
stead of saloons, there would be
churches. and it would be necessary for
the CITY government to impose a
license upon each church, or rather
upon the contribution box and
subscription last, to meet the financial
ueeds or the city. and. at the same time,
cheek the evil of legitimitizing begging.
Between talking high license and other
matters the association divided its
time. The officers presented w. +.
Bremen, the GOOrkeeper, with a gold
headed cane. H. Ii. Miller making
little presentation speech. Aldermen
Hamm and Conley were conspicuous in
the meeting.
There is some talk of carrying the
high license question into the courts,
but how? Even the counsel for the as
ISOLATION. John Ives, can't tell. It's
hard to find salOOnkeeper who is will
ing to stand the expense and nOtOriety
of defense againsta prosecution under
the state law. If a restraining order
against the city and state is applied for
IN THE STATE COURTS.
a Republican Judiciary c0nfrontS the
would-be applicants. And how can
they carry the matter into the United
States courts? Upon the ground that
SalOonkeeper is authorized by the United
States to sell by virtue of the govern
ment license, and then invoke the fed
eral jurisdiction against the states con-
stitutiOnal police power?
License Commissioner Nugent says,
With very grave face, that there are
400 applications filed for the $1,000
license. But what is the joint commit
tee on licenses and ordinances doing?
These applications won't count for
much unless they are backed with
81 ZOO each.and are published two weeks
before the license is issued.
In the meantime the joint committee
has the 81, 600 ordinance in its posses
sion. The salo0nkeeperS are consoling
themselves with the fact that if they
have to pay $1,000 they can raise the
price of liquor and cigars, and get back
their money out of the pockets
of the man who votes. There has
been some talk about the brewers and
big liquor men putting up their money
for the poorer class of SalOonkeeperS,
but the question upon the streets Is,
s.Are they able to?'' In January the
city government will need every cent it
: can collect in the way of licenses. The
.saloonkeepers are. kicking about this,
too. They sayit's hardly fair to compel
them to pay for the public improve
ments of the city.

High School Last Night.
The first session of the annual con-
vention of the State Educational asso-
citation was held in the High school
building last evening. The hall was
well filled. large number of teachers
from all portions of the state being in
attendance. The meeting was
called to order by President
w. NJ. West, of Faribault, z who
introduced Gov. McGill. He welcomed
the teachers in behalf Of the state. Il

that l have been unable to prepare an
address fitted for such an occasion. |

kind of a speech, but L
want TO tell you that the
man who is governor of the state has
less time than any one else. If yOu

prised at the wonderful growth
of the public schools and
the public school system of this state.
We have just reason to be proud of our
state in this respect. She is second to
none in her zeal for the progress of the
public school system. She now has
over 5000 teachers engaged in the work
of instruction in our public schools.
Who can tell how great their influence

school teacher is hardly appreciated as
il should be. Again it gives me great
pleasure to welcome you to this city,"

CARLOADS OF FIREWORKS
To Be Burned During the Carni-

for Fire King

To Be Burned During the Carni-
val Seasonal Minneapolis Man
for Fire King.
Arranging the details of the pro-
gramme for the winter carnival was the
principal subject discussed by the di-
rectors of the Carnival association at
their meeting yesterday afternoon, and
considerable progress was made in that
direction. Matters were not put in
shape, however, to justify their publica-
ton at this time, though the secret con-
clave lasted upwards of three hours.
Chairman Robertson, of the committee
on fireworks, reported that five car
loads of pyrotechnicS had been secured
and would start for st. Paul the Goth of
January. All the cars will be hand
somely decorated and upon their sides
will be displayed large banners in
scribed ''St. Paul Carnival and Ice Pal
ace. 1855" A number of special feat
ures had been contracted for, but prob
ably the most striking and brilliant
would be the representation of mi
rage, something entirely new in the mat
ter of pyrOteehnic. displays. There
need be no danger apprehended from
falling sticks of rockets and cases of
Roman candles, as the maker has in
vented something original LII the way OF
destroying the sticks and cases while
the flights are in progress.
Two hundred Indians were being ne
gotiated for off the various reservations
contiguous to Minnesota, and war
dances and other tribal ObServances
would be given by them during the car
nival season, while forty tepees for
their accommodations and comfort would
be placed in position near the ice
palace. There was considerable dis
cusSion of proposition to appropriate
money for the entertainment of visiting
organizations, but it was deemed mex
pedient to contract such an outlay as
would be necessary and the directors
vetoed the idea. Minneapolis was
awarded the honor of having the fire
king, but no one was agreed upon for
the position, while the ice king will be
chosen from amongst the citizens of
Saltwater. Both patentates will pTOba-
bly, be announced at the next meeting
OF the directors, and meanwhile the
proper committees Will consult with the
future rulers as to their wishes and
ideas of the celebration.
